Mission Briefings need to state a recommended level
Time and time again I'm being frustrated at starting a mission, Homestead Construction is a good example, only to find out I am wildly under leveled and geared for it. In this mission, you need to be able to craft 2 statues, either with gold, requiring you be at least level 20 with the concrete furnace perk to smelt the required gold, OR to the horde enzyme geysers and get condensed enzymes. Started this mission, wasted hours of my time just to even start a base and build just to find out.. oh, hey. I can't even bloody complete the mission. wasted my day, thanks. Put in the mission briefings a suggested level for it if you're going to have the mission require you to be a certain level with perks to even complete it.

Little boy blue MergedMention tech requirements in mission I.e Does this mission need a certain work bench to be completed? Have it mentioned in the briefing, or perhaps a check off box if the player has it. It'll help ease headaches for newer players entering those missions just to find out they should've got said techs before hand rather than spend needless time leveling.

AskurHad the same experience, but I'm not saying that the time was useless, you level up.
But a hint what you need to complete the mission (level 20 e.g.) would be good. The mission is available after completing the first two missions, I was just level 8. Mission briefing says "build a shelter" and I thought "no problem". But it doesn't say anywhere that you need gold and that you can only use gold from level 20. -

Bill MergedEspecially in the early accessible missions like homestead, have something saying what level you need to be to complete that message. It is very frustrating to get most of the way through completing the mission and then realize you need refined gold, which takes level 20, but you are only level 14, so you have decide between abandoning all your progress or farming levels for a long time
